Innerwear is available in an adequate number of sizes to accommodate any day's vaginal discharge: from tiny- 1" x 1" for drips and drops, to large- 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" for a woman's "heaviest days" (sized like bras in AA-small-- to D-large).

Background on Innerwear
I remember the very first time I went into the drugstore to buy "sanitary protection" more than thirty years ago. After my feelings of embarrassment, I thought, even then as I looked at the price, "Why do these things cost so much? And aren't these wasteful? Do I have to wear these for the rest of my life?"
But the last time I went to buy a box of tampons turned out to be the last straw. I pulled a box off the shelf: 27 tampons (hm...there used to be 40, then at some point there were 30, and at some not too distant point in the past the contents were reduced to 27...when was that?) I checked the price. Yet another price increase. "They expect me to pay $5.39 plus tax for what will ultimately become garbage?" Again I thought, "They're taking unfair advantage of me (and millions of other women around the world)."
I started to look around the store at the prices of other "paper" "disposable" products. This is what I found. All of these products can be bought for the following prices:
- A box of Tissues: $ .99
- Paper Towels: $ .99
- Toilet Tissue (4 rolls!): $ .99
- Paper Napkins (100): $ .99
- Paper Plates (100): $ .99
- 27 Tampons: $5.39 !
(feminine hygiene products, tampons, napkins and liners come in boxes of various counts- of 6 - 30 or more, and prices for store brands and name brands range from $10.00 per 100 to $25.00 or more per 100)
Over the course of a woman's lifetime she may spend thousands of dollars on this product.
It was obvious to me that there was clearly a "need" for an alternative method for feminine protection.
